Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Dydrogesterone is an orally active synthetic progestogen, with a molecular structure similar to that of natural progesterone. As dydrogesterone does not inhibit ovulation at standard doses, is devoid of estrogenic or androgenic properties, and does not induce metabolic side effects, it is suitable for use throughout a woman's lifetime, from adolescence to older age, for conditions associated with altered levels of endogenous progesterone. Aside from its well established role as a component of menopausal hormone therapy, dydrogesterone is indicated in younger women for treatment of dysmenorrhea, irregular menstrual cycles, premenstrual syndrome, and threatened or recurrent miscarriage; and is effective as luteal phase support during assisted reproduction techniques. In this narrative review, evidence is examined for use of dydrogesterone across a range of disorders affecting menses and pregnancy. A case study woven into the review illustrates the clinical uses of dydrogesterone during a young woman's journey to become a mother.
